I'm in doubt if this is the same wasp like yesterday but I try anyway (sorry....). Today Alpi Marittimi, about 6mm (or larger?).

Hi

it's a nice female of Chrysis analis Spinola, 1808.
It looks like a giant specimen.

Usually C. simplonica are larger than analis, but it in this case the ventral surface of the abdomen seems to be dark (blue) and not shining red.

Paolo, thanks again. This was a rather large wasp. I stood out between the smaller ones on these flowers. They are well liked.
Kind regards,
Pietsje
